Why do you need a manual for a mobile phone

The user manual is a kind of set of recommendations, tips, rules and warnings regarding the operation of the described product. Mobile phone instructions are important because they can (and should) help you learn technical specifications, features of the configuration and conditions of warranty service.

Cell phones, whether simple phone, a smartphone or phone with a bunch of music files and applications, allow us to contact and communicate with other people. Today, cell phones are an integral part of the lives of both adults and teenagers, as these devices are essential for work, study and communication.

Steps

Part 1

Choice of tariff plan

The more subscribers a mobile operator has, the better it is (in most cases it is).

Find an operator with a large network coverage area and a high-quality signal. These parameters indicate the reliability of the operator (as a rule, the more towers the operator cellular communication, the better) and ensure that the call quality remains stable, for example, while driving, in sparsely populated areas or underground. #* On the Internet, you can find network coverage maps of a specific provider (indicating the number cell towers). Look for an operator with the largest number towers in the area where you live or work.
- If the operator offers tempting tariff plans, this does not mean that he will provide high-quality communication. Choose cheap tariff plan only if the provider guarantees a reliable connection.
- If you travel a lot, choose an operator that will provide you with a national or international connection.
Think about the speed of data transfer over mobile networks. It depends on the mobile operator. This setting is important if you are going to use mobile internet.

In many countries, the phone is sold with a contract (and data plan) for the use of the services of a specific cellular operator. If this is your case, choose your plan carefully, as it depends on the phone model you can buy, the length of your contract, and your monthly cellular charges. The tariff plan should include the necessary services and should fit within your budget. Here are some of the more popular services:
- Free minutes: You need to think about the number of free minutes provided (monthly), the cost of paid minutes, and whether unused free minutes roll over to next month. Some mobile operators at certain hours or days of the week offer unlimited connection, while others are unlimited tariffs.
- SMS messages: This is perhaps the most important service. Most cellular providers provide the ability to send a certain number (or even an unlimited number) of SMS messages for free. Be careful as some providers charge you to open an SMS message.
- Data transfer. Most providers limit the amount of free data transferred to 500 MB - 6 GB.
- Voice mail: This is often payable service, which is a kind of autoresponder. Remember that when listening voice mail you pay for every minute (or you run out of free minutes).
- Caller ID: This is an important and demanded service, which is provided by almost every mobile operator.
- Contract A: In some cases, you will have to sign a contract with an operator for 1-3 years. At the same time, you can buy a phone at a discount or in installments (the payment period will be extended for the duration of the contract). You will also make fixed monthly payments and additionally pay for the use of certain services.
- Family plan: Choose this plan (if available) if everyone in your family uses cell phones. In this case, the operator will provide you with a large number of free minutes and SMS messages that all members of your family can use.
Stop the choice on the prepaid tariff plan. Do this if you do not want to sign a long-term contract with a mobile operator or want to save money. But in this case, there are the following negative points:

Part 2

Phone selection

If you're going to make calls and send messages, buy a basic cell phone. There is a wide variety of such phones, from monoblocks to sliders.

The simplest mobile phone is very cheap. Some contracts offer such phones for free.
The simplest mobile phone is a very durable device. Choose this phone if you lead a very active lifestyle or if you frequently drop your device. Unlike the simplest phones, smartphones break very easily.
If you old man, then choose a simple phone, as many of them have large keys that make it easier to dial a phone number.

Consider buying a smartphone. Smartphones are currently the most popular cell phones with touch screens, high-quality cameras, Wi-Fi and multiple operating systems (OS). The most common operating systems are:
- iOS: This system is easy to operate and has excellent user interface; moreover, a huge number of applications and other content have been developed for this system. This system is designed for the average user who wants to watch videos, play games and chat with friends; application developers prefer other OS.
- Android: This system is convenient for application developers and those users who prefer to customize their smartphone (the parameters of this system are very easy to change).
- Windows: If you have your own business, please choose a device running this system, as you will be able to work with popular programs, such as Microsoft office and Exchange. In this system, you can easily create and edit documents.
Consider purchasing another device that you can use to make calls, such as a tablet or a "PDA" (PDA or PDA). The PDA's popularity is declining, but modern models(for example, Blackberry) will allow you to surf the Internet without having to overpay for the features that you do not need that are present in smartphones. The tablet has a large screen and increased performance(compared to a smartphone).

You can add programs to desktops from the general menu list. Where to find it? Press the main key on a tablet or smartphone, or the middle button at the bottom of the screen - we have already mentioned it.

2. We save battery power

There are many ways to maximize battery life.

Here are the most effective ones:

Do not use wallpapers with 3D effects and in HD. This is especially true if the resolution of your smartphone is not very high. Then a completely standard picture, not in HD, will do. At the very least, do not do this at the beginning of using a new smartphone.
If you don't need it for this moment, turn off location, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Also, if you do not need to constantly use Viber, Skype, other instant messengers and other programs that require constant Internet, disable mobile network, that is, the Internet from the SIM card.
Do not use maximum brightness. Again, at least not at first. Of course, in the store, any smartphone looks very impressive, because they set the maximum screen brightness. But, unfortunately, in everyday life it will not work in the same way. This is worth remembering.
